Rum Rice Krispy Treats

Ingredients:

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 (10 oz) bag marshmallows (or ~4 cups mini marshmallows)
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp dark or spiced rum (or more for stronger flavor)
•  ½ tsp vanilla 

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a large pot over low heat.
2. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
3. Remove from heat and stir in rum and vanilla. Tip: Let it cool for about 30 seconds before adding rum to avoid too much alcohol burn-off.
4. Stir in Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated.
5. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch pan using a buttered spatula or wax paper.
6. Let cool and set (about 30 minutes), then cut into squares.
7. Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate or mix a little rum with powdered sugar for a boozy glaze.
